Most swelling ought to resolve in 6 weeks or so, but it is likely that at least some edema may persist longer, up to about 3 months after this procedure, if properly performed. In a few cases, prolonged edema is possible.
Hello dear, thanks for your post.-Swelling after an arm lift (brachioplasty) is expected, with most of the swelling resolving by 3 months after the procedure. -However, some patients, will have continued swelling beyond 3 months that can be annoying. -It is likely that over the course of another 3-6 months, this swelling will resolve completely. I realize it's hard to be patient for the swelling to resolve, but time, more than any other therapy, will allow the swelling to improve.-Thanks for sharing! Good luck :)
